Ruiz on right midfield

JackyFulham90 · July 23, 2013, 09:10:36 AM

I have a feeling we may see him play there a lot this season, I really hope we don't but I think no matter if we sign Bent or not I just have a feeling with Kasami emerging & Rodallega doing well in Pre Season Ruiz may be on the wing a fair bit this season which will be a waste as he is really good in the number 10 role & would be so dangerous if we had someone who could play him the ball quickly so he could play further forward

no, highly doubt so. If anything, based on our pre-season, Ruiz SHONE at the number 10 position. It is his natural position, and so far he has excelled in our pre-season games.

No doubt Kasami has done well too, but to dislodge Ruiz of his position? I don't think so. And Rodders has played as a striker in our pre-season, not the number 10 role

I like Ruiz but I can't see this, Dejagah excels in that position.

:plus one:

Ruiz has shone in his no. 10, let him continue shining

it'd be madness to break up the riether dejagah partnership.

I know I want Ruiz to stay in the number 10 role he can be key for us there I just think Jol likes him out wide I don't think Dejagah would be dropped anyway Kacaniklic would probably drop to the bench

How is it that Jol likes him out wide when he has been playing at the no. 10 role for the last few games?

Last season whenever Rodallega featured, Berbatov dropped deeper, Ruiz moved out wide, in Costa Rica Kasami was central Ruiz was wide right, if Bent comes in he will move wide again I just hope it doesn't happen as he has the best eye for a pass in our team so the number 10 role suis him

I think lastt season we tried all kinds of options for Ruiz and clearly showed the only position to play him was as a number 10 just behind Berbatov but with a licence to roam.

Dejegah was a match winner in the wide right position and should not be moved.

And that worked? I don't think so!

He played wide right in Holland but Jol always said he wants him behind the striker.
